Happy Monday, quilteroos! I hope your week is off to a good start. Mine will get better after I’ve had a chance to work on some sewing and relax. Why is it that I can work hard on a sewing project, but sitting at a desk all day wears me down? You know, if I… Continue reading

I’ve been making a lot of fiddly small blocks lately for a couple of different Sewalongs, and I’m thinking it might be about time to get a straight stitch plate for the Juki. I use a boatload of starch and always use leaders to keep from getting little pieces sucked in, but a straight stitch… Continue reading Community

Contentment in everyday life
Yes, I borrowed my title from one of my favorite classes, although I took it at a local center. It’s not always easy to allow our natural confidence and trust in ourselves to shine. We can relate to one another in harmony if we have the curiosity to learn and the confidence that we’re… Continue reading Contentment in everyday life

Quilting in a vacuum
Until I joined the New Quiltbloggers a few weeks ago, I was pretty much blogging and quilting in a vacuum.

I have the FQS Patchwork Quiltalong‘s March block pattern available… Continue reading Beware the Ides of March!

A Day Off…
I rarely take the time off from my job that I’m entitled to. It’s not because I’m dedicated, exactly. It’s just that there’s no one to cover for me, so things build up, which makes me anxious. I took today off, thus I’m freaking out just slightly every time my work email goes *bink*. … Continue reading A Day Off…
2017 Fatquarter Shop Patchwork Quiltalong
So here are my first two sets of blocks. I need to figure more out about the stylish ways to blog so that I can show things to my adoring public without making you go “Oh my! Larger than life!” This is going to be a pretty quilt. My only trouble with Bonnie and Camille… Continue reading 2017 Fatquarter Shop Patchwork Quiltalong
